Chapter 256 - A Vow Made Upon The Celestial Emperor



"Yes," Even though she felt pressured, Re\'Kha didn\'t reel under the pressure, taking a deep breath before she talked everything about her experience in the Withered Courtyard, making mild changes to omit the scenes where she had used her Wind Qi perception.

She said how she noticed that the walls were made of wood, getting suspicious immediately as she had thought it was a settlement based on the design of the stone walls of the place. So, the moment she sensed something was amiss, she had shattered the ceiling using a Hand Projection, causing the rain to fall on her.

Using the rain, and the abundant Water Qi present in it, she protected herself, relying on her Water Qi perception to move. She then recounted her experiences in fighting the numerous figures that tried to attack her.

She used a cloth she had found to absorb the rain that she lashed out like a whip, using it as an elemental weapon. She then talked about the ensuing fight until she reached the gates and her eventual escape.

Once she finished talking, there was silence in the main hall, unnerving her. Finally, after some time had passed, the head Elder said, "Then, how did you arrive at the Burfuna City after that?"

After a moment of thought, Re\'Kha replied, "You\'ve seen it, Elder."

Her reply confused him for a moment before the head Elder understood that she was talking about the Pakou he had seen, speaking, "Alright, you may leave. Unless the Elders of your Clan question you, don\'t talk about your encounter with the Blinded Ghost or the Withered Courtyard to anyone else. That\'s an order."

After a pause, he continued, "If anyone tries to force you to speak, say you\'re following my orders. And if someone forces you to hand over the information despite everything…"

His voice became chill-inducing, "You are free to kill them. You have my permission. As for the aftermath, the Burfuna Ki Clan will handle everything."

Re\'Kha immediately bowed, prostrating herself as her forehead touched the ground, "I\'ll take this information to my grave. This, I vow on the Celestial Emperor."

"Good," The head Elder\'s voice turned a notch softer. After all, if anyone from their race vowed on their Celestial Emperor, they were bound to follow it to their deaths. It wasn\'t just followed because of their devotion to the Celestial Emperor, the pillar of their race.

Rather, their Celestial Emperor was the pillar, the peak, the source, and the end of their race. So, any vow directed towards him placed a shackle on those that had vowed. It was a formless shackle that couldn\'t be avoided once the vow was complete.

That was why, the moment someone vowed on the Celestial Emperor, their statement held absolute weight.

As Re\'Kha left the place, her heart felt heavy. Even if she didn\'t wish to do so, she had no other choice but to make the vow. Otherwise, she could instinctively sense that she wouldn\'t be allowed to walk free after that.

There was a good chance they would limit or chain her down to the Burfuna Ki Clan to prevent the information from leaking out. Now, Re\'Kha knew that she wouldn\'t be able to convey the sequence of events she had experienced to anyone else.

Even if she opened her mouth to speak about it, her voice would fail to form. If she tried to write the information, her hands would stop moving. If she tried to convey it through sign language, her body would become paralysed.

And despite everything, if she still tried to convey the vowed information, her body might even decompose on the spot. At least, that was what she had been taught.

And, Re\'Kha had zero intentions to test that. After a moment of thought, she smiled, \'This is better. Now, no one will be able to interrogate me about that. And, if my Clan members try to force anything out of me…\'

Her eyes glinted with a dangerous hue, anticipating the ones who schemed against her to ask her about it so that she would have a legitimate reason to hack them to death. She had indeed suffered through a lot, so Re\'Kha had no intentions of leaving them happy.

Once she exited, she noticed Ki\'Nha flash her a worried look. Re\'Kha smiled in return, "It wasn\'t much. They were just asking about that."

By that, she meant the Withered Courtyard. And, as Ki\'Nha had expected it, she nodded in response, accompanying Re\'Kha as the two returned to her home. After spending some time, Re\'Kha hailed a cycle rickshaw and returned to her home.

It seemed a day was enough to repair all the damage, as workers had worked throughout the night to clean out all the mess made by the horde of birds and beasts alike. As for the carcasses of the beasts, those were swiftly preserved to be used in the making of elemental weapons.

If they chanced upon any body parts with high conductivity to Elemental Qi, they would be preserved to be used in the making of Magic Artifacts. Though, the chances of that happening were very less.

After all, to be used in a Magic Artifact, the quality of the beast\'s body part should be equivalent to an Elemental Qi Essence. And usually, only the body parts of a Beast King had the necessary quality. And, obtaining one of those was almost impossible.

Usually, a Magic Artifact was made using an Elemental Qi essence alone. But, those made by including the parts from a Beast King would be superior. Re\'Kha didn\'t possess a Magic Artifact like that.

After all, even the Harpen Waves was only made using Water Qi Essence. Though, almost 10 Water Qi Essences had been consumed to create it. And just that alone made it the peak of the Magic Artifacts. So, she didn\'t know just how powerful a Magic Artifact made using a Beast King\'s body parts was like.

\'Maybe it\'s guarded the most and would only be used within the Clan\'s boundaries when absolutely necessary?\' She thought as such and returned to her home, watching Mu\'Tua waiting at the entrance with an anxious expression.
